CISE Research Instrumentation: Equipment for Real-Time System Prototyping

Cda-9529462 Burleson，Wayne P.Ganz，Aura University of Massachusetts-Amherst Equipment for Real-Time System Protype实时嵌入式计算系统的开发需要结合软件模拟和硬件模拟来验证功能并估计性能、成本、功耗和可靠性。所要求的设备用于开发实时系统原型的通用方法，以及将这种方法应用于无线网络和实时机器人正在进行的研究项目的特定硬件和软件。该设备包括一个小型的个人计算机网络，这些计算机运行用于软件仿真的计算机辅助设计工具，并充当基于微处理器和数字信号处理器的硬件仿真系统的主机。总而言之，整个系统允许快速开发、验证和分析仅靠模拟或仿真无法探索的系统。特别是，它允许对数据依赖和环境依赖的属性进行统计研究，这些属性很难用传统的软件模拟进行分析建模，而且速度太慢。

CDA-9529462 Burleson, Wayne P. Ganz, Aura University of Massachusetts-Amherst Equipment for Real -Time System Protyping The development of real-time embedded computing systems requires a combination of software simulation and hardware emulation to verify functionality and estimate performance, costs, power consumption and reliability. The requested equipment is for the development of a generic approach to the prototyping of real-time systems as well as specific hardware and software for applying this approach to ongoing research projects in Wireless Networks and Real-time Robotics. The equipment consists of a small network of Personal Computers which run Computer Aided Design tools for software simulations as well as serving as hosts for hardware emulation systems based on microprocessors and digital signal processors. Together , the entire system allows the rapid development, verification and analysis of systems which could not be explored by either simulation or emulation alone. In particular, it allows the statistical study of data-dependent and environment-dependent properties which are difficult to model analytically and too slow using traditional software simulation.
